Hadrian Pevrell in Twilight

Chapter 14

It was during 1800 that,once again Death told him about a new powerful gifted human,who will have not so nice future.Hadrian didn't know that,while Death was saying the truth their was another thing Death liked messing with Amun and Aro.

So Hadrian intervened and his name was Benjamin he was grew up in the slums of Cairo. He lost his mother at a young age and had no knowledge of his father, and so was raised by his mother's extended family. After being passed around between family members who could feed him, his mother's uncle, a street performer, took him in and taught him different things like dancing and singing for money or selling trinkets and picking pockets.

In on such occasion Harry started going through his loot,it was forty dollars he'd managed to beg the last few days, eight wallets and watches he'd pick-pocketed

Harry first found Benjamin by accident actually,he was walking down the street,that's when he felt someone pick his pocket.Hadrian could tell the boy was good too,if not for the fact boy's hand had twitched just subtly enough at the end he would not have known.

So out of the corner of his eye,he saw the their it was none other than the boy he was searching for Benjamin.So he quietly followed Benjamin. He'd led Hadrian through many branching alleys until they arrived at an abandoned home. Inside, Benjamin was going through the wallet.

Hadrian said"You are really good."causing Benjamin to jump in shock as he looked at Hadrian who smiled and summoned his wallet from Benjamin's hand causing the boy look at this in awe and surprise,as Hadrian said"I seen you performance,it is very neat."

Hadrian held out his hands as flames danced on it and slowly took the form a small stag.Benjamin couldn't believe his eyes,he never thought he would find someone who was similar to him.
Benjamin snapped out of his daze and said"You are like me."he couldn't keep his excitement from showing.

Hadrian chuckled seeing his reaction as he nodded and replied"Yes kid I am,now tell me about yourself kid."

Benjamin was hesitated,but seeing this person didn't turn him to the police Benjamin decided to give this person a chance.Benjamin soon warmed up to Harry,as he soon given a option by Harry.

Harry with serious tone said"I can turn you into an immortal like me,but remember it is not all good."

Benjamin was thoughtful,as Harry went in detail about the good and the bad of being an immortal.

Harry spoke up"While Immortality is more bearable if you have a companion or lover,also by the looks of it you have already met yours."

Benjamin was confused and questioned"What do you mean by that?"
Hadrian after meeting Marcus had learned the ability to recognise bonds and Benjamin has strong bond with lady named Tia.

Hadrian smiled and answered"Your soulmate seems to be girl names Tia."

Benjamin was surprised hearing Tia was his soulmate,he was okay with being an immortal after all his life was not that great to begin with and he knew his uncle was just using him to get more money.

Benjamin asked"So I could bring her too."
Hadrian nodded as Benjamin smiled he knew Tia was not happy with her engagement.While Hadrian helped with modify their memories and even gave Benjamin's family enough money to live their life with comfort.

While Hadrian taught Benjamin many tricks in manipulating the elements,he saw Hadrian as father figure.

Vladamir with smirk commented"You are adopting kids left and right."
Hadrian turned and saw Vladamir leaning against the wall,Hadrian questioned"What happened?"
Vladamir with serious tone and replied"We are getting reports of lot of missing case in Mexico.Someone is building a vampire army"

Hadrian groaned hearing that ,as he muttered"Can't these guys leave us in peace for atleast a century."

Vladamir shrugs and said"They pop up left and right like cockroaches."

Hadrian nodded and replied"An apt description."
Hadrian getting serious questioned"Did they find out,who was raising the army?"
Vladamir showing a picture of man with black hair,a rugged face and red eyes as Vladamir said"His name is Benito,he is the main suspect."

What Hadrian didn't know was this Benito would start a chain reaction and cause the Souther vampire wars.(The wars which Jasper was part off.)

[A/N:An interesting detail I picked up,it seems Maria who was the one who turned Jasper and the leader of Mexican coven was a member of Monterrey coven Benito destroyed.Also Maria was only 30 years old now and when she met Jasper she was 40 years or something.]
